This medicine is formulated to address persistent fungal skin infections and intended to mitigate the spread of dermatophytes on the skin, nails, or scalp.

Griseofulvin works by depositing itself within keratin precursor cells, making them resistant to fungal invasion. It inhibits fungal cell mitosis by disrupting the mitotic spindle, effectively stopping the growth and replication of dermatophyte fungi such as Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton species.

Pregnancy: strictly contraindicated. Breastfeeding: not recommended due to lack of safety data.
